Both Dallas Fire-Rescue and Fort Worth Fire crews had several water-related calls during Wednesday\u2019s severe weather, including several reports of vehicles in water and high-water rescues.<\/p>\n
In Dallas, one rescue happened around 6:32 p.m. near Abrams Road after a man fell from a bridge into the water below. Crews found him stuck in a culvert, unable to get out because of the slippery sides.<\/p>\n
A DFR swift-water boat pulled the man to safety around 7:18 p.m. He was not taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n
DFR also responded to 85 motor vehicle crashes between 7:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. as storms moved through Dallas.<\/p>\n
In Tarrant County, Fort Worth firefighters responded to at least 20 high-water calls Thursday as heavy rain moved through North Texas.<\/p>\n
The fire department says there have been no deaths or injuries reported from flooding or high water.<\/p>\n
By noon, fire and medical crews had already handled more than 400 calls \u2014 close to the 500 calls they typically handle in an entire day.<\/p>\n
Officials say it\u2019s too early to know how many crashes were tied to the rain or whether anyone was hurt in those crashes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Both Dallas Fire-Rescue and Fort Worth Fire crews had several water-related calls during Wednesday\u2019s severe weather, including several…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[102,116,118,117,172],"class_list":["post-454395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-dallas","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
